The Gospel of Saint Freddo

[Marty_d]

I was musing on what I would do as a practical joke, if I could do absolutely anything.

 

I decided that I would turn all the names of every deity, sub-deity, prophet, angel, demon, whatever - in EVERY holy book - bible, koran, torah, talmud, what have you - into the names of Cadbury chocolates.  Including, of course, every reference anywhere in the Internet.

Every time an attempt was made to reprint with the originals, they'd revert to chocolate names.

Imagine the sermons.... "and Crunchie said unto Turkish Delight... oh, wait, dammit, what were their names??"

 

Then there'd be the amusing sight of Cadbury's suing every religion for breach of trademark. 

 

Heheh.

Nah, I was sanding filled screw holes on the outside of the shed.  Plenty of time for random musings when you're doing prep work for painting.

Marty - You're going straight to Hell, no doubt about it. No pausing in Purgatory for any attempt at Redemption - just straight to Hell, with a pitchfork up your a***, immediately on arrival.

 

I can just see Rowan Atkinson now, standing there, reading out your name - "Marty D? - O.K.! - (pointing) - over there! - you're with the lawyers!" ......

I've got no problem with that OT... at least I'll be able to keep chatting with most of you blokes! 😁

[nomadpete]

Oh goody. I expect you'll be returning my lawnmower then?

[Bruce Tuncks]

The last lawnmower I had borrowed, I waited till he was not home to return it. I had run it for 2 mins on model plane fuel ( methanol and oil ) and for some reason it wanted to take off. I quickly finished the mow and drained the fuel.

Well I managed to avoid the bloke for 2 weeks till we faced each other at a corner....  " I've been looking for you" he said and I started to apologise...

" I dunno what you did with the mower" he continued " but it runs really good now".

 I think I had given it a decoke, by mistake.

I Must try that on my ' four-stroke edger '

I inadvertently put two-stroke fuel in & it ran slower & slower then STOPPed Never to fire again , even with ''  startubastard '' .

I suspect blocked jets .

some-ones NOT blooody Happy Jan . LoL

A neighbour asked "Can I use your mower?"

 

I said "Sure. Just don't take it out of my yard."

I don't think I have your lawnmower,  but I do have your multimeter and wire stripper...

[nomadpete]

Good strippers are hard to find, aren't they!

[Marty_d]

I dunno,  I've seen a couple that were ok.

[onetrack]

I bet Marty has a calendar full of photos of strippers - with a different brand for each month - and all opened up, too.

OK does not equal good... 😉

 

 

[Bruce Tuncks]

Please tell us how you fared space...

[spacesailor]

I haven't touched  it. A bit worried if I make a DEAD motor worst .

[old man emu]

If it's clogged jets, try a few squirts of carby cleaner or StartUbastard into the carby to clean them

[spacesailor]

YOU mean 'WORK' , 

again ! .

I Killed it , WE don.t work  !.

spacesailor

 

[facthunter]

All you did was add some oil. At least it won't be rusted but the jets,etc will retain it when the fuel evaporates. Change the plug and flood it with straight petrol and it will probably go again.. Nev

[spacesailor]

STOP

Are you All trying to get me in the garden ' Working ' .

It's raining , It's cold , It's not the right day !.

The Edger is DEAD . Can I watch TV,

I have not been in a cinema this century. Don't watch  movies at home. My son and daughter have Netflix, Stan, et al, on the TV as well as Foxtel. Have not sat down to watch any of them. I do enjoy a couple of English mystery dramas - Midsomer Murders is a favorite, particularly the John Nettles ones. Also A Touch of Frost. I know! I'm weird.

 

My son was watching Maverick Top Gun the other day when I walked in. Watched about five minutes of it, when Maverick slammed Ice's wings into the top of his casket. That's about all.
